GDB provides substantial GDB testsuite being regression tested with each new build. rpmbuild --with testsuite -bb gdb.spec 2>&1|tee log produces output which can be processed by uudecode and tar xjf, resulting *.sum files should be compared against last stable release by diff. There should be no PASS->FAIL cases (regressions).

libstdc++ and glib2-devel pretty-printers and also gdb-heap should be tested by hand for compatibility. ABRT is dependent on GDB but incompatibilities are not expected there.
